CIVIL WAR DIARY OF REV. HENRY EDWARDS.

CIVIL WAR DIARY OF REV. HENRY EDWARDS. Bound book with about 40 hand written pages of occasional entries beginning Nov. 11, 1859 with the last entry Dec. 30, 1862. Edwards was a chaplain in military hospitals in Frederick and Hagerstown, Maryland area and witnessed many battles in the area. He mentions having visited battlefields shortly after the battles with the Confederate dead still unburied. He speaks of Jeb Stuart’s calvary capturing the local militia officer, the trial of the Harper’s Ferry attackers, a meeting between Pres. Lincoln & Gen. Scott, the Capture of Hagerstown, he mentions Lee, Longstreet and Tombs being in town, Battles of Boonesboro & Sharpsburg, the liberation of Maryland from the Confederates & his seeing Pres. Lincoln for his appointment as chaplain to the hospitals which he was apparently granted. Book contains a small slip of paper apparently given to him by Rev. W.C. Stite bearing the signature of Gen. McClelland. Also included is a Confederate proclamation to the people of Maryland dated 8 Sept. 1862 from Gen. Lee, printed locally. A very well written narrative by an obviously well-educated man that requires some serious study. CONDITION: Spine is a little loose but attached, with fuzzed edges on the covers.
